Mr.Stu

"Can" and "is it legal" are not necessarily the same thing. I would say take it offline with your FFL.

Could be, but I also read that as the model number initially.

It is astounding that these people are standing there speaking about this nonsense with a straight face. OSCARs for everyone!

What price are you looking for?

Dan Schmutter, working for ANJRPC has a law suit ready to file the minute Murphy signs the bill.

Sweeney didn't run under the R banner. He was a Dem through and through. So not a RINO at all.

Shocking tale - I'm glad Mo stood his ground and prevailed. What consequences are these officials facing? None, I'll bet.

Hurrah!

The bill does say "shall not". However, it also says the section that says it, will not come into effect for 7 months. So for 7 months the dimwits in Trenton are fine with drunk people with guns. It probably won't stop it passing, but it does make it even more clear that they have no clue what they are passing.

Fingerprinting is in addition to that and is paid directly to IdentoGo and they do take credit cards.

Paddle attachments, whether on SERPA or Safariland are not rated for retention. You need to go with the belt slide to get the level I/II/III rating. The reports I saw showed the SERPA holster detach from the belt slide. The Safariland ALS holsters are rock solid. On occasion, I have thrown my bodyweight on a Safariland ALS as I went to the ground to shoot under a barricade and it suffered not at all - and I'm not little. The design of the ALS is not so susceptible to getting jammed up with debris. However, at the end of the day, it is still a mechanical device and failure is possible. I have moved away from the ALS holsters and adopted the GLS. I don't need Level I retention during a match, but being certain that the gun won't fall while I run around is reassuring. I like that with ALS and GLS, once the button is activated there is zero friction to overcome - the gun slides right out.

What you say about correct operation is mostly true, but is exacerbated by other design failures. The SERPA can suffer a catastrophic failure when debris gets into the mechanism and it completely locks up preventing drawing the handgun. If this happens to a lesser degree short of a complete lock-up, the user will often attempt to press the release button harder which will usually lead to them moving to using the tip of the finger. If the mechanism unlocks we're now looking at the problem that you referenced. SERPA holsters have also spectacularly failed to stay attached to the wearer's belt during retention drills.

If you're not a resident of TX, SC doesn't recognize a TX permit. @Displaced Texan - we know, you're not like us

The issue with the Uncle Mikes is two-fold but very similar reasons. It is a soft holster so the protection for the trigger is not complete. The trigger could be pressed by exerting force on the outside of the holster. It will also collapse when the gun is removed - especially as it is IWB so the belt is pressing it closed against the wearer's body. This makes getting the gun into the holster way less safe than a rigid holster.

From the article: "Sadly, these state gun laws, and whichever law the federal government tries to pass, will only make potential criminals out of otherwise law-abiding gun owners, ensuring that those with no respect for the law are the only ones with access to firearms." Is it possible that they are trying to make the law so ridiculous that it deserves no respect?

The Bravo concealment is OK, but not the most comfortable. Uncle Mikes IWB? Don't. Just don't.

I believe SC only recognize their own or resident permits from some other States. NJ is not on their list.

I'm 25 days behind you for MD. My application still says it has the status of "accepted" on the web portal. How long was it before yours was assigned to an investigator? I also see MD play the same shenanigans as Nj with cutting a month off the permit lifetime.

If you mean non-NFA other firearms, it will have no impact at all. The first test to see if the brace re-classification applies is whether the firearm is less than 26". That means all non-NFA firearms are out of scope.

I'm pretty sure they also wrote laws saying that they are exempt from any court action for things they do in office.

The article states 3 attackers. 2 were killed, one was injured. I see no indication that anyone innocent was harmed.

If I'm understanding this correctly, you have no lateral tab or block any more. I think you're going to find the light creeps under recoil. Fire a few rounds through it and let us know.

NJSP has an Office of Professional Standards. File a complaint with them. That may wake them up.
